Chess Grandmaster's $100M Lawsuit Dismissed Over Cheating Allegations

A $100 million lawsuit filed by American grandmaster Hans Niemann against Magnus Carlsen and Chess.com in connection with the cheating scandal that rocked the world of chess last fall has been dismissed by a federal judge. Niemann had alleged that the defendants were "unlawfully colluding to blacklist him" from professional chess. Niemann's attorneys noted that only part of the lawsuit was dismissed "with prejudice," meaning those specific claims cannot be re-filed at a later time. Niemann will now take his claims to state court.
